Taroudant

Taroudant is a city located in the Sous Valley in the southern part of Morocco. The town was occupied by the Almoravids in 1056 AD and had its golden age during the Saadi Dynasty, particularly under the reign of Mohammed ash-Sheikh who constructed the city walls and built the great mosque and its minaret in 1528 AD.
